The conditional use permit granted for the Narrows Saloon via Resolution No. 4530 in October 2000 permitted live entertainment and permitted the floor area devoted to Class II Restaurant use to encompass the easterly 60' or approximately 60% of the 50' x 100' one-story building. The current proposal would create a second, separate Class II restaurant within the westerly 40' or approximately 40% of the building, and additionally would establish new outdoor seating areas for each of the two restaurant uses. 5. The new restaurant use will not be directly accessible from the Saloon but will share the rear entry and restroom facilities. The westerly space in which the new use is proposed is approximately 40' wide x 50' deep, or 2,000 s.f. of floor area (4,000 s.f. including the basement level). This new proposed restaurant includes a dining area with bar and kitchen on the main floor, with a second bar and additional seating in the basement. These spaces will be separated from the portions of building occupied by the Narrows Saloon by an existing wall. An additional hallway will be created on the main floor from a portion of the existing Saloon area to allow access from both businesses to the restrooms yet maintain separate entrances for each restaurant. 6. The existing CUP for the Narrows Saloon allows a Class II Restaurant use with liquor service and live entertainment. Because of concerns about potential excessive noise levels due to live music being audible in the surrounding neighborhood during live entertainment performances, conditions were included in Resolution No. 4530 requiring establishment of a 2-door vestibule system at the rear of the building, which was constructed and remains in place. This vestibule currently serves as the only entrance to the Saloon opening to the parking lot at the rear of the building. Under the new proposal for an outdoor seating area to serve the Saloon, this vestibule will no longer serve as the rear entrance and will only provide access to the outdoor seating. The proposed shared entrance along the west side of the restroom wing will serve as the primary entrance to both the Saloon and the new restaurant use. 7. Conversion of the retail space in the westerly 40 feet of the building to a new restaurant use will increase the number of parking stalls required by City ordinance for this building. Additionally, because food service is intended for both proposed outdoor seating areas, those areas although seasonal and weather- related in terms of actual parking need, must be taken into account when determining the parking demand for the expanded use.
